OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

My Son left on Wednesday 3/26/2014
Hi all. I do not have any information yet from my son. I will tell you that the information you provide to us newbies is amazing. I have gotten calling cards free from the site you provided. I am going to try and book my tickets to PIR as soon as I get the email OR information from the recruiter as to when it is.
I know my son has wanted this forever and is 23 now. He tried the college route but ALWAYS wanted this. He is going to be a Corpsman and will do well. I miss him alot but know he is happy. He has a dog he loves and luckily his best friends are keeping that dog for him. I am going to try and find sailor hats for him to wear and take pictures. I want to keep him engaged in his home life as much as possible.
So if you all have any info for me on how to access pictures for my son and any information I would appreciate it. Also, any creative fun ideas for our sons, daughters, loved ones...let's do it.
Thanks all.
